Customer Review Summary

Pho is the draw, with diners naming the spicy beef brisket noodle soup, the classic brisket pho, a Hanoi pho with steak and garlic, and a hot and spicy chicken pho that one reviewer found a bit tangy. Curry noodle soup earns a 10/10 from two reviewers, and one gives chicken curry rice the same score. Summer rolls come close behind, with prawn ones enjoyed as a starter, though one reviewer found them just alright, and another urges not forgetting them. Others mention the spicy mango salad, pork and lemongrass meatballs, a Vietnamese curry with cauliflower rice, a banana fritter with honey and ginger ice cream, dragon fruit lemonade and the coffee. Servers are repeatedly described as friendly, warm and attentive, with one helping choose dishes and another bringing prawn crackers while a party waited. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who felt staff pushed hard to order more than wanted, and who found the music loud at times. Food arrives quickly, and one table left with a free postcard.

    “Great spot with delicious, authentic food! The pho was incredibly flavorful, with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned broth. The staff was very friendly, prompt, and helpful, and the atmosphere makes for a really pleasant meal. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!”
  • Avantika Sarkar
    “Absolutely fabulous! From start to finish, the experience has been a positive one! I e booked online for our weekday evening meal as we wanted to make sure we are definitely eating here. We were greeted by Dwayne and he was wonderful. He gave us a choice of seating/tables and even allowed flexibility. The service was really good. The food was all served promptly. We ordered summer rolls, spicy mango salad, pork and lemongrass meatballs, Vietnamese curry with cauliflower rice, beef flat rice noodles. Excellent flavours! Each and every dish was delicious. We have been eating Vietnamese food for many years and we have even been to Vietnam on holiday! Hence, we can say the food here is truly good! We also enjoyed the restaurant vibes! The atmosphere, the music inside, the decor, the ambience and friendliness of each and every member of staff are praiseworthy. A visit to this restaurant is strongly recommended!”
  • David Geraghty
    “The staff at Pho always greet you with a friendly smile and ask if you’ve been before. The food was excellent, with a good range of Vietnamese dishes, all beautifully presented. Every member of staff was helpful, and the restaurant was kept clean and tidy throughout.”

    “We had an early dinner at Pho Bournemouth today to finish off the first day of our quick Bournemouth getaway. We were warmly welcomed by a gentleman at the entrance and were invited to choose whichever table we preferred. Shortly after, our server, Amy, came over to offer us drinks and some prawn crackers while we waited for my son to arrive. Amy was friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about her job, which made the experience even more enjoyable. To share, my husband and I ordered the prawn summer rolls and the spicy beef brisket noodle soup, while my son chose the beef combo noodle soup. The food was fresh, flavourful, and comforting, exactly what we were hoping for after a day of exploring. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here today. Great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere—we’d happily return when we’re back in Bournemouth. Another Pho Visit here last Sunday and we had Panayiotis who looked after us. We felt very welcomed. He was Very helpful, friendly and service was chill. We had a lovely chat with him as well. We had a wonderful dinner again here. Thank you so much!”

Highlights

“Pho Bournemouth is a healthy Vietnamese restaurant with loads of vegan and gluten free options.

We also have loads of starters that are perfect for sharing with friends and family. Over a third of our menu is vegan, and nearly all of it is gluten-free, so we are a great destination for people who follow those particular diets. We are accredited by Coeliac UK.
